Will offers broad sweeping critiques of all things climate change; the Copenhagen conference, Obama's policies, and Climategate. Unfortunately, his critiques lack any expert opinion, or other evidence (see quotes).

This is certainly one of George F.Will's best pieces. In his usual elegant way, Will employs language to communicate his view, shared by an increasing percentage of educated people worldwide, that the authors of climate-change models are too arrogant in believing that they are able to reconstruct long-term prior climate changes, much less long-term future changes. Will also addresses motive, what he believes to be the desire of an elite who actively promote the theory of anthropogenic global warming to engage in increasingly intrusive social engineering--always with the assumption that they know what is best for all of humanity. "Compelling" is the word that best sums up my evaluation of this piece.

Interesting opinion which presents the view of climate change skeptics more effectively than I have read elsewhere. The author, a conservative columnist, raises doubts about the science behind global warming, citing the ClimateGate emails as proof of "the intellectual arrogance of the authors of climate-change models." Though his argument is well-written and generally more thoughtful than the many partisan rants I have read on this issue, he provides insufficient context on the mounting body of evidence supporting environmental concerns.

In criticizing perceived intellectual arrogance, Will exhibits his typical anti-intellectual arrogance. He presumes his extreme right wing philosophy should carry more weight than the consensus of the best and brightest scientists on the planet.
